12. Recycled Bottle Bird Feeders

Recycled bottle bird feeders are a simple, eco-friendly craft that transforms empty plastic bottles into inviting spots for local wildlife. With just a few careful cuts and the addition of perches, you can create a functional feeder that encourages birds to visit your yard.
This project not only helps reduce household waste but also offers a hands-on alternative to buying commercial feeders. It’s a rewarding activity for all ages and a great introduction to upcycling. For safe, detailed instructions and helpful tips, visit Audubon’s DIY guide.
